C'mon SamIam - Mercs buyin!

TheMercenary · 10-14-2008, 10:29 AM

Yea, but I only am buying one flavor.

Shawnee123 · 10-14-2008, 10:30 AM

Betcha it ain't chocolate. You betcha!

TheMercenary · 10-14-2008, 10:31 AM

Yep, Neapolitan.

Its a slippery slope, I tell ya. One individual starts providing free ice cream, and soon you'll have strangers walking up to you on the street demanding free tiramisu.

Sundae · 10-14-2008, 02:10 PM

Bleurgh.
Not ice-cream, the video.

I've just watched it.
I can't believe that people can say that sort of thing seriously.
The God I grew up believing in would not be taunted like that. That's the sort of psychology that bullying talk show hosts use on deadbeat Dads when the audience boos them.

And I also can't believe people think God gets involved in politics. Where was he in the Russian Revolution, where the Communists prevented Christian worship for decades? And if he is involved in politics, how do we know he supports McCain? Obama is a Christian too, and no doubt has plenty of prayers being offered up on his behalf.

Also, did I really hear that millions around the world pray to Hindu?
Hindu, Buddha, Allah.

So odd. I've known plenty of Hindus, but I've never known anyone pray to Hindu. Must be a new sect.

CNN or Fox or MSNBC or one of those shows did a great segment on peoples abilities to recognize faces. Only one guy did a good job out of like 10 people. They could not recognize Cheney, Al Gore, Bill Gates, and some other random famous public figures. But every damm one of them recognized Oprah.

Sundae · 10-14-2008, 05:26 PM

An aside. I've mentioned it before. I have terrible terrible trouble recognising faces.

I watch the news, I read the papers, hell - even just coming into the Cellar keeps me up to date. But I'd be one of those nightmares in an on-street interview if asked to identify people by photo (hence my poor showing on the Should You Vote quiz or whatever it was called).

I'd recognise Oprah because of the airtime she gets, even in the UK. But I'm still confused between two of the Board members here, and two different sets of artists.

TheMercenary · 10-14-2008, 05:33 PM

Ok, that was not an indirect dig at you but the majority of people should at least know who Cheney is, good God he is the devil incarnate, isn't he? And hell Al Gore invented the internet and global warming, everyone should know that and who this guy was. [sarc]

Sundae · 10-14-2008, 05:37 PM

Don't worry, didn't take it as a dig.
And I know the majority of people who can't recognise politicians' photos, don't recognise their names either.

I know I could identify the office of more American political figures than the majority of Americans could British political figures. Not redeemable in the Cellar where the political IQ is higher than the average of either country.

I have a hard time distinguishing between Steve Forbes and Mitch McConnell , especially since they're both in the news a lot.

This may not be a problem for long, since McConnell is up for reelection and the race is tightening.
